Tennis's Top Ace

“Honey, didn’t you say tennis was an elegant sport? So why can’t I feel any elegance? It just seems weird to me. Look at that short player on the left. Doesn’t he run like a crab?”

“Uh, yes, darling. He really does look like a crab running for its life. We call it the ‘crab walk.’”

“Is that ‘crab’ an amateur player?”

“No! No, no, no! You can’t say that, darling. He isn’t a ‘crab,’ and he’s certainly no amateur! His name is Wang. He’s from China, a highly accomplished professional tennis player, and my idol!”

“But he isn’t elegant at all.”

“No, no, no! Darling, you can’t talk about my idol like that. He’s the world number one, and he’s held that position for 238 weeks straight, surpassing Federer!”

“But he still isn’t elegant!”

“No, no, no! Darling, he’s Wang, the top man in tennis today. He’s won 47 matches in a row! He dominates the entire tennis world!”

“But he’s just not elegant!”

“All right, darling, you’re right. He really isn’t elegant, but he’s still my idol!”

“…”

Wang, the top man in tennis: a towering figure who, despite being short and playing an inelegant game, dominated an entire era of the sport!
